ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen is urging Gov. Larry Hogan to “explore every possible state action” to stop gun sales to dangerous individuals, particularly those on the FBI Terrorist Watchlist.
Van Hollen, a Democrat, sent a letter to the Republican governor Thursday. He noted that Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, a Democrat, is pursuing a ban on gun sales to those on federal no-fly watch lists.
Matt Clark, a spokesman for Hogan, says Maryland already has a policy in place to address gun-purchase applications from people on the list. Maryland automatically puts a hold on them, and state police contact the FBI for a security check.

This is not a good idea - the government terrorist list is hidden and they can put anyone on it they want and there's no published method for appeal........
Please consider the consequences Governor!
Please no more libtarded knee jerk reactions please
Yeah, but the Dems want to give them all Universal Voting Rights!
Then they can get rid of any laws that don't suit them.
Idiots abound...
And yet the Democrats allow 72 people on the "no fly list" to work for the TSA. How can our Country survive this insanity?
Wow. With the stupidity of the Maryland congressional party like Cummings, cardin, Mikulski, and hoyer we have another baboon. WTF is Maryland voters doing??
8:48 I would like for Van Hollen to answer this concern before he opens his mouth again about gun control. I would like the Governor to loosen the application for concealed carry and recognize all other states CCW.
Van Holland, you are a dope!
this jerk is going to be the next "Senator" from MD - the Party of Liberal Jim
The reason I am against this, is because all they'll do is acquire an illegal gun, either stolen or as a straw purchase through another one of their co-conspirators. That will be harder to track.
If someone on a terrorist list buys one, that should be an immediate flag to put them under immediate close surveillance.
My question is, why is anyone who is on a terrorist watch list, walking around freely in the USA, anyway?
8:48 Because we need to employee people at six figures to play candy crush... I mean, "watch" these terrorist. Can't get a bigger budget if we don't over spend!
Bad idea, obummer will put everyone on his list. No more guns, that's what they want.
I have no problem with stricter laws against criminals getting guns but first allow anybody that wants to conceal carry and is a law abiding citizens the right to do so without permits and any other BS.
If criminals want to buy Guns, they'll have someone else buy them! They are NOT that ignorant! They will ALWAYS know how to work around the system! DUH!
This CRAP has been going on for decades!

laws against 'criminals' from getting guns have worked so well so far. I can't make it any clearer than that
Van Hollen just proved he is an uninformed idiot and doesn't deserve to be a representative for Maryland!!
